BREAKING: AES FIRES BACK After Brutal Attack on Mali – Africa Will NOT Bow!

STATEMENT
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFEDERATION OF SAHEL STATES (AES)
Following terrorist attacks carried out against the Republic of Mali
April 25, 2026
The Confederation of Sahel States, in its ongoing struggle for sovereignty, was the target of terrorist attacks on the morning of April 25, 2026, targeting several sites on Malian territory.
The coordination of the attacks, the targets chosen, the forces involved, as well as the logistics and weapons used, clearly indicate that these were long-planned and coordinated operations aimed at inflicting heavy losses on defense and security forces and spreading terror among innocent civilian populations of the Confederation of Sahel States, particularly in Mali.
The persistence of these barbaric and inhumane aggressions bears the mark of a monstrous plot supported by enemies of the Sahel’s liberation struggle, carried out through the confederal dynamic of the AES.
However, the sinister plan and destabilization attempt of these enemies of peace and unity in the Sahel were thwarted thanks to the professional, courageous, and determined response of the Malian armed forces.

The Confederation of Sahel States emphasizes that these ignoble, cowardly, and barbaric acts against a sovereign member state cannot shake the determination of the brave peoples of the Sahel to live free, in peace, and with dignity.
It expresses its deepest condolences to the families of the martyrs and wishes a swift recovery to the wounded.
The Confederation of Sahel States expresses to the Malian people, the Government of the Republic of Mali, and the valiant Malian Armed Forces (FAMa), its total, unconditional, and fraternal solidarity. It pays vibrant tribute to their extraordinary courage in repelling this barbaric aggression and neutralizing individuals from another era, acting on behalf of forces determined to undermine its sovereign vision.
It expresses its gratitude to all States and partners who, in a spirit of solidarity, have shown their support to the Malian people and once again demonstrated their commitment to stand alongside the States and peoples of the Sahel.
